Noelanders Trophy award; Best of Show. A Taxus cuspidata (Japanese yew) by Bonsai Museum Alcobendas. Can we assume that the artist is Luis Vallejo? It's not really kosher to cut off part of pot, but who's to complain? Bonsai Empire once again wins the award for fastest bonsai news scoop, and we'll take what we can get. Gratefully.
Up late last night* and now I’m trying to get out of town for a brief Montreal mid-winter epicurean extravaganza… so we’ll make this short.
We have a Noelanders Trophy Best of Show Bonsai (actually there are two, but we’ll save the second for later). Thank you to Bonsai Empire for their usual hyper-sonic job putting up a slew of exceptional photos. Oscar doesn’t waste time. And thanks also to Mark Noelanders for putting together a world class bonsai extravaganza. Year in and year out.

BTW: The Year of the Yew reference in the title has to do with how many superior Yew bonsai we’ve seen and shown lately.
Best of show and friends.
*Don’t waste your time reading this self serving footnote… but if you must, I have to mention the Superbowl as a long time New England resident (since 1980). What’s worse, I’m lifelong 49ere fan due to a fortunate accident of birth. So that make nine…
